Markets are grappling with continued uncertainty after US President Donald Trump agreed to postpone planned 50% tariffs on European Union goods. This move followed a call between Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, which came as a response to escalating tensions in the transatlantic trade relationship. Although stock markets reacted positively initially by opening higher following Friday’s initial shockwave triggered by Trump’s threat, analysts cautioned that this delay doesn’t resolve underlying issues. The risk of a full-blown trade war between the world’s largest economies remains alive and has left investors wary of a sudden shift in US policy.
